‘Tour de Farce’: Sunak’s farcical police escort gets thoroughly lampooned

"The ones at the back are jogging because Rishi offered to fill up their cars but didn't know how to use his bank card to pay", one person said.

The security measures surrounding the Prime Minister’s convoy took a form that would make most dictators blush this week.

A video uploaded to social media showed more than 30 police officers either cycling or running in front, alongside or behind Rishi Sunak’s car and security detail as it makes its way through central London.

One officer on a bicycle physically shoves a member of the public off the road while shouting: “Out the way! Out the way, please!”.

Needless to say, the farcical show was immediately lampooned by people online.

We’ve rounded up the best of the reaction below:

Didn't we all spend a day or too laughing at Kim Jong Un for this and it was like 6 guys? https://t.co/kx7P1FQZ1l

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
